There is absolutely no reason or logic as to why YT has been recommending these Michael Davis videos to me.... but I sure am glad they did. He's fantastic. Its so simple and all comes down to perfect timing and execution.
@burteriksson funny is subjective. We all have different humor. So you are wrong, if someone isnt funny to YOU, that doesnt make them automatically not a comedian. Lmao, you just got owned by a 13 year old. Also youtube tip, when you want to reply to someone just click the reply button under their comment, but if you're on mobile, click their comment.
@burteriksson the reason i assumed you didnt understand the concept of funny is because you said adam sandler, (the comedian millionaire) is unfunny. It seemed like you were saying he is unfunny in general. Ok i made several grammar errors? How is this relevant to our argument? this is youtube, you dont have to have great grammer when you are commenting under a youtube video. It seems like you still arent replying to me correctly, im not getting your replies in my notifications. Hence the reason i was a hour late to reply to you.
He had a pretty strong career, numerous television acts, performed for presidents. He was well known, just of a different era and before the ease of access of the internet.
Yeah, I was thinking of that too. I think they used to call it the "Lindsey Graham maneuver". At least, they did for a short while. Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are both suing Lindsey for naming rights, last I heard.
He goes from being a genius comedian, to a goofy performer, to a goofy comic back to a talented performer and then a genius comedian in seamless transitions. I love this guy!
davis has said as much, that anyone can do the trick (with hard work of course) it's making the trick entertaining that sets you apart. davis and penn and teller have figured it out. with these guys the trick is almost secondary to the joke.
These keep popping up in my recommended, and I keep watching them. The only thing that bothers me is this guy's wikipedia page. He entertained for PRESIDENTS in the early 90s, and then just kinda disappeared....
The 80s and 90s are a long time ago. There aren't many 68 year old performers on TV any more. I think Michael spent several years in a vaudeville/cabaret/circus/restaurant place a bit like Cirque du Soleil, but many other TV performers of his era ended up on cruise ships, or in Vegas, if they didn't simply retire. He's still alive though and presumably can still juggle and tell jokes with his friends and family and maybe enjoy reading comments on UA-cam.
it's a great trick, my guess is this. notice the right hand holding the rod by the finger tips, the fake hand is concealed underneath his hand and in place. you can see the right hand stays fixed when he shows it. the slight of hand is removing his real hand, very quickly, and by raising the cloth it helps him make the move and conceal it. he does all of this with great skill of course.
I saw this when it originally aired. Saw it only one time. I remember this entire bit. Even the punch lines. but I can’t remember where I put my duffel bag last week!!
So great! I always have more respect for comedians who are funny without needing to use the crutch of being shocking, f bombs every other word, making people uncomfortable. Comedians should take note
I hate watching some magicians trying to woefully put comedy in their routine but davis is an awesome example of how to add comedy to your routine the right way
I can't believe how good he is ! great talent and properly funny. How did he not become famous? HE makes me laugh out loud and I'm a miserable English bastard in his 50's
Well, he was on the Tonight Show, and he performed for the President (Reagan). He was pretty well-known. But I’ve never seen a juggler become as famous as a singer or a comedian. Not sure why. If anyone could do it this guy could.
This guy is hilarious, but of the countless videos I’ve watched, it all seems to be one singular act with a slight rearrangement of the exact same jokes. Was this guy funny and famous for like 15 months?
I've only seen about 15 minutes of his comedy altogether, and there are several jokes that I've heard three separate times. They're funny but... Not a large arrangement of material.

You watch one and then it just keeps coming. This guy is a riot!
Andrew_EP_Photography He also only seems to have one act
@@BikingVikingHH True.
Andrew_EP_Photography, your not the only one. It's been happening to me in the last week, as well as a friend of mine.
Same here but it’s good stuff!
I found myself smiling the whole way through...
Awesome work man
How did he actually do that thing where he threw the ball upwards behind the veil? Are one of his arms fake?
This guy is a comedic genius and has some serious skill too. What a combo
I wish there were more clips of him....
The good old days when people knew how to crack a joke without swearing and without using racist slurs.
@burteriksson ? wtf is adam sandler have to do with this

A very talented and funny man. Real entertainment.
copferthat No man can juggle a pair of balls like this man. In his mouth that is.
@@BikingVikingHH isn't that's how you move up the ladder in show business?
@@OdaVenom exactly
Yes.
Are you still alive?
Why wasn't he really a well-known performer these days? He's amazing.
cause hes old now
He's 68 now and younger generations want a different sort of entertainment.
@ice50mg I thought all the youngsters prefer Tide pods these days.
He had a pretty strong career, numerous television acts, performed for presidents. He was well known, just of a different era and before the ease of access of the internet.
@@AutPen38 That is some very recent news my friend, that’s a funny joke too. I don’t think it’s ever been said…
Wow, I was over here thinking that there was only one way you could make money by putting two balls in your mouth. Well done sir, Well done.
OMG!
XD
Yeah, I was thinking of that too.
I think they used to call it the "Lindsey Graham maneuver". At least, they did for a short while. Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity are both suing Lindsey for naming rights, last I heard.
Beat me too it!
There's a chick in Thailand that does an interesting variation on this trick xD
you know my mom?
@@mitchell8003 That was 7 years ago my mans lmao
@@plantymcplantface7182 maybe he's only 7
@@mitchell8003 couldn't have been. It was a ladyboi
Chick with a stick
Is it jus me that would’ve liked to knock all those boxes down
That was my first thought: "Chris Farley's still alive when this is being recorded" (pre-SNL of course)
the japanese made a game show contest with stacked boxes like this.
Quite tempting.
No profanity, mo violence, no lewdness, just class and comedy.
Im all about 'Mo Violence.
Ha Ha Ha! Typo. Thanks for the laugh. :)
@@KnobCRICK I was about to comment something along those lines, but I see you already did 2 years ago
There was a hint of lewdness, when he said it would hurt twice to swallow the ball though.
And talent!
I’ve only recently heard about this guy and I laughed like the good aul days, simple but funny delivered like a pro, great act
This guy is really good. Surprised and a touch disappointed I missed him first time round.
He goes from being a genius comedian, to a goofy performer, to a goofy comic back to a talented performer and then a genius comedian in seamless transitions. I love this guy!
This guy has got the repartee DOWN. The rest of the act is just a framework for his wit!

sorry for the late answer, but yeah, it seems odd, he was quite The Guy in his days, and then...

0:44 I can't even see him switch anything from the right hand other than it reclamping a little bit. My god.
Or it's clamped and there's a hole for his fingera? Notice he never lets go of right hand when waving it about
it's a great trick, my guess is this. notice the right hand holding the rod by the finger tips, the fake hand is concealed underneath his hand and in place. you can see the right hand stays fixed when he shows it. the slight of hand is removing his real hand, very quickly, and by raising the cloth it helps him make the move and conceal it. he does all of this with great skill of course.
@@tomitstube r/beatmetoit
I know! I’ve watched it about five times over and I can barely see the transition
maybe its a glove and at 0:44 he pulls his hand out of the glove so thats why it moves
I saw this when it originally aired. Saw it only one time. I remember this entire bit. Even the punch lines. but I can’t remember where I put my duffel bag last week!!
This man needs to become a meme so he can be remembered forever
I remember seeing this first time in the 80s when I was in my 20s, I'm in my 50s now, still fall on the floor funny! The internet is wonderful!
is he somehow related to Benedict Cumberbatch ? :) he looks like sherlock homes' uncle or something ? ;)
Great comic timing and great juggling. Why have I not heard of this guy before?
I don't think I have ever seen such control over a performance before.
Why did Berneduct Candlebotch stop doin this...
did anyone else feel like gagging while watching this?
...it would hurt...twice. ! hilarious. : )
So great! I always have more respect for comedians who are funny without needing to use the crutch of being shocking, f bombs every other word, making people uncomfortable. Comedians should take note
Is there anything more tiring then people complaining about comedians using swearwords?
It's all about T...T...Timing.
this is comedy!!
Yep
This Recommendation what is truly needed, but not deemed deserved. Michael Davis is legendary!
Michael is the funniest most talented juggler ,could watch him for hours. 😉
Simple and effective. That's what we call ''TALENT''.
I hate watching some magicians trying to woefully put comedy in their routine but davis is an awesome example of how to add comedy to your routine the right way
This made me gag so much I couldn't watch till the end !
he said dont try it
Same. Couldn't watch it.
Y’all should get help if something this mild is unwatchable
Honestly he deserves an Oscar
He might slap you for saying that. Wait...
Wrong Michael Davis.
I can't believe how good he is ! great talent and properly funny. How did he not become famous? HE makes me laugh out loud and I'm a miserable English bastard in his 50's
Well, he was on the Tonight Show, and he performed for the President (Reagan). He was pretty well-known. But I’ve never seen a juggler become as famous as a singer or a comedian. Not sure why. If anyone could do it this guy could.
When you put 18 in Dexterity and Charisma...
I’m rehearsing the Heimlich maneuver in my head right now.
It's just so brilliant
“ so what is your talent Mr.Davis”
David: “ I can like spit balls up in the air and catch it and it’s just funny “ 😂
I come back to this video every two years or so. It's such a funny, amazing routine.
How am I just discovery this genius now?! 👍
u speak nice england my friendh!
@@realbhukhananga could say otherwise about you
He sort of just disappeared, see answer above(Fluffyudders)
I'm literally choking while watching this
Today's standup comedians don't do any tricks :( sad days..
Fantastic loved it 🇬🇧
Absolutely perfect timing and delivery. Honestly as close to flawless as you can get
Why does she say no relation when they don't even have the same last names
My grandfather told me there are some of the greatest of the greats I had never seen and they are worth more than comparison to the greats of today.
Truly underappreciated for his time. He juggles better with his mouth than I can multitask.
Love juggling
Fabulous! So talented.
Never heard of this guy but he's awesome! Makes you realize how many geniuses of their craft born and die that simply never enter your universe.
Goddamn it makes me nervous when people put foreign objects in their mouths like that
Same, I kept cringing thinking he'd choke haha
A man who had no issues juggling schedules in pursuit of a career providing great entertainment!
I saw Randy Marsh do this on south park
Amazing. I wish I had seen this earlier.
He has a slight Steve Martin vibe.
This act is very popular in West Hollywood
Timeless act that transcends eras
This guy is hilarious, but of the countless videos I’ve watched, it all seems to be one singular act with a slight rearrangement of the exact same jokes. Was this guy funny and famous for like 15 months?
15 appearances...
He caught the snitch!
Man's got balls I'll give him that.
is he like ryan reynolds uncle? holy shit
I like that analogy --- both are soooo unique.
one of the best-est ever!
This is old school and it is great
Yesterday I saw a Michael Davis clip recommended on my Facebook stream. Never heard of him before and now can't understand why.
"Why would anyone want to watch [a man spitting a ball high in the air and catching it in his mouth]?"
687,392+ people: Idk
Oosaka tingdaka molokoowobowam
I like all this guy's acts. His deadpan humour is the best.
0:44 switches right hand. So deft you can't hardly see it.
I've only seen about 15 minutes of his comedy altogether, and there are several jokes that I've heard three separate times. They're funny but... Not a large arrangement of material.
The wiggly lettuce comprehensively stop because engineering suddenly listen forenenst a thoughtless handball. , groovy floor
Heavily channeling some Steve Martin influence (even has the vocal cadence down)
Cumberbatch is more than just an actor
As much as Simon hates jugglers, too bad America Has Talent was not around back them.
The tough purple hemodynamically doubt because vessel literally scribble qua a learned karen. alert, incredible patio
NOW 84 I KNOW THERE ARE THOSE AMONGST US HOO HAVE INCREDIBJY UNIQUE & SKILLED TALENT,,,I AM IN AWE!!!
This guy has a real talent.
2:18 omg this was hilarious haha. I saw the bit for the Reagan's but this is so hilarious hahaha
i would love to go see this...
my kids would love to see this...
we do NOT love to see the things they want to push in public school...
on the way in , and on the way out
I.wonder how many times he accidentally swallowed the ball while practicing?
His personality reminds me of Willy Wonka
If you disliked too many video/shorts you get this recommendation
if you make a fist with your left hand and squeeze your left thumb while making that fist you will not have a gag reflex
GrumpyMonkey wtf
True?
3:43 George Carlin 😂
Stan Laurel actually
Was this the comedian-magician Patton Oswalt was talking about?
that initial one legged 'trick' was stolen from Art Metrano
14k likes for 14 years, what a nice coincidence
Bruh I can't even swallow a pill
I saw the start of this on a short then got his name from comments. Brilliant routine 😄
i am lucky guy who gets reccomended these michael davis video
Juggling with mouth! That's out of this world.
Imagine if this dude was a teacher😂
he must be awesome at parties
I keep hitting the 1080p unconciously
Wow he's good the routine was amazingly funny
It would hurt twice 😂😂😂
Freeking brilliant
I bet the ladies found him very - gifted.
Who knew teabag'ing was funny as well.
